We had some difficulties during our stay. The biggest problem was during our first night, which was also our first night after flying across the pond. Around 2 am the smoke alarm went off, and it continued its every 2 minutes chirping. We barely slept. Assuming that it might be the battery, I tried to open the cover, but it would not move. The noise continued. We called for help, and the maintenance person did arrive within an hour or two. He also was unable to open the cover but finally pulled the battery out through a small opening around the edge of the cover. Even with the new battery the noise continued. Hypothesizing that the smoke detector was somehow linked to the one in the kitchen, he changed that one too, although he had the same difficulty getting its cover off. We were skeptical, but his trick worked perfectly. That meant, though, that we invested most of the night and most of the next morning hearing the intrusive noise. In addition, the flat lacked some items which are usually present in rental properties:- No “Welcome to our apartment” booklet with explanations of where to find things and how to make them work. That meant that we could not figure out how to turn on the oven or how to make the washer/dryer move to its drying mode. We packed slightly wet clothes. Also missing:- an iron, even though there was an ironing board. - a paring knife- some kind of coffee pot. (There were three K-cups in the cupboard but no pot of any kind.
